Yugoslavia - 1

 The early Yugoslavs lived in the upper reaches of the Dnestr and Bug rivers, about 600 miles northeast of the border between Ilyricum-Ilyria and Dalmacija. They lived on farmland cultivation and hunting, but they moved in search of new pastures without staying in one place for long. The Eastern Orthodox Church, which separated from Roman Catholicism after the 4th century and became the diplomatic religion of the Byzantine Empire, dispatched missionaries to mission the Serbs, Montenegros, Bosnians, and Bulgarians, who were based in the east of the Balkans. Meanwhile, Catholic missionaries from Rome and Dalmatia have Catholicized Croats and some Bosnians. The Yugoslavs, who lived nomadically around the 7th century when the Byzantine Empire lost control of Ilycum after Justinian I, advanced southwest and approached Ilycum. They did not move systematically, but they reached Ilycum on a small group, and it was not until 635 that several tribes settled in Ilycum. In the eastern and central regions the Serbs, the Bosnians to the west, the Montenegro to the south, the Croats to the north of the Dalmatian coast, and the Slovenes to the north.Most of the Yugoslavs settled on the outskirts of Ilycum as they did in the old nomadic lifestyle, but some Croats in the northwest were urbanized through mixed blood with the Romans. The emperors of the Byzantine Empire were often successful in rebuilding Illyricum, but among the Yugoslavs, especially the Serbs, fiercely resisted and refused to rule the Byzantine Empire. If the battle against the Byzantine Empire was in a lull, the Serbs fought against the Bulgarians and Croats, and confronted the Mazars (Hungarians) in the north. At the end of the eighth century, King Charlemange of the Franks became the supreme ruler of Western Europe on his own. His troops invaded Hungary and Slovenia, then crossed the Adriatic Sea and plundered Dalmatia and Croatia. On December 25, 800, Charumano, nicknamed the Holy Roman Emperor by the Vatican, refused to convert the empire as well as the Dalmatians, Slovenians, and Croats to any religion or sect except Catholicism, but left Bosnia and Serbia unattended. The Croats, invaded by the Hungarians in 1102, lived under the Hungarian kingdom for more than 800 years. Slovenia became a private property of the Habsburg family for 600 years after the 14th century after being ruled by German aristocrats. When the Habsburgs established themselves as Austrian rulers, Slovenia naturally became Austrian territory. In 1346, Stephanus Dusan, who exiled his father Uros and ascended the throne, took control of Hungary, occupied Bulgaria, Albania, and Macedonia, and claimed to be the "Emperor of Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, and Albania." However, when he died while advancing to Constantinople in 1355, his empire collapsed rapidly. Then from the east, the Seljuk Turks bypassed Constantinople and invaded. On June 15, 1389, the Turks who defeated the Serbian army in the Battle of Kosovo killed the Emperor Lazar and most of the aristocracy. The Turks, who occupied Constantinople in 1453, conquered Serbia in 1455 and annexed the Ottoman Empire. At the end of the 14th century, with the exception of Montenegro, all of Albania became subordinate to the Ottoman Empire. In most of the conquered territories, especially Albania and Bosnia, a number of residents converted to Muslims. In 1526, the Turks re-invade Hungary, defeated the Hungarian army at Mohacs, and King Lajos II drowned while fleeing. Following that, the half-brother of Royoche II, Ferdinand of the Habsburg family, was crowned king of Hungary and Bohemia. At this time, Hungarian aristocrat Janos Zapolya asked the Turks to make him king of Hungary. After many years of fighting, they signed a peace agreement, with Ferdinand ruling Croatia and Zapoyo ruling Hungary. When Japoyo died, the Turks subjugated his territory and ruled it for 150 years, but Croatia was out of control of the Ottoman Empire.
